Analysis
French Polynesia recorded 0.0003 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 50.0% on the previous year and unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from industrial combustion (energy) in French Polynesia peaked at 0.0003 Mt CO2e in 2000 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
French Polynesia ranks 163rd of 193 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
